Messages on Matthew
Invited to Go
For six weeks, Jesus has invited us to come — to rest, to belong, to be fed, to receive his Spirit, to step out in faith. In this final message of the Invited series, that word changes. Jesus’ last words to his disciples aren’t “come,” but “go and make disciples.” We explore what it really means to make a disciple (hint: it’s not a class or a program), and how every invitation we’ve received is meant to become an invitation…
Come Out of the Boat
Sometimes we’re exactly where we’re supposed to be, and it’s still hard. Pastor Brent looks at Peter’s request to walk on water and asks what invitations we’re willing to ask for in our own storms.
Come and Rest
Jesus invites everyone who is weary and burdened to come to Him and find rest. In this message from Matthew 11:25–30, we discover how exchanging the weight of performance and self-reliance for Jesus’ gentle, grace-filled way allows us to live more freely and lightly.
Invited to Come Follow
Jesus’s first invitation wasn’t to believe something — it was to follow him. Pastor Amy opens our new series Invited with the call of four fishermen, and what that same invitation means for us today.
The Words of God
The Bible is God’s Word in print. When it’s difficult to hear God, it’s one of the best places we can turn. Listen as Pastor Brent continues our series about hearing God speak – specifically through His written Word.
God as Rock
We often picture God in warm, relational terms—a loving Father, a compassionate mother, a faithful friend. But throughout Scripture, another image appears again and again: God as a Rock. In this message, we explore what it means to call God our Rock—and why this ancient image still speaks powerfully into our modern lives. Drawing from the Psalms of David and Jesus’ own words, we see how God offers us safety, strength, and stability when life feels chaotic or uncertain. Whether you feel overwhelmed, under pressure,…
Overcoming Sin
Sin is a universal experience. It’s rooted in our very being and a key component of God’s story with humanity. However, viewing the gospel as simply a “sin-management” tool reduces the power and truth of the Good News. Listen as Pastor Brent shares a fresh perspective on sin, helping us understand its role in our story and how Christ teaches us to approach it.
The Idol of Family
Family is a beautiful gift from God, but when we begin placing our families equal to or above God, we lose sight of the role God intended for family to have in our lives. As we conclude our Counterfeit Gods series, we take a look at the idolization of the American family. What if the solution to the idol of family is not thinking of our families less but integrating them into the Kingdom of God with others in true…
The Idol of Money
Our attitude towards money and possessions matters. Does your money and stuff control you, or do you control it? Jesus never said that money was bad, but our heart posture towards it can easily turn money from a tool to be used for the Kingdom into an idol that can destroy our lives and relationships with Jesus.
The Idol of Success
We’ve created a system that teaches us that we are only as good as our last successes. Where does God say our value comes from, though? Follow along as we take a look at the idols of success and achievement, learning that God cares more about who we are than what we do.
A Time for Revelation
Who is God, and does He want to be known? The practice of revelation is a crucial part of faith that we often miss. In this message, Pastor Brent invites us to humbly seek Jesus and His Kingdom this Advent season and each day of the year.
Into the World
What should the church’s relationship look like with the world? As individuals, how should we interact with the people around us? The world longs to be seen, heard, and loved. As followers of Jesus, we have an opportunity to engage in the ministry of reconciliation with our community.
